Sole Swap⚡️ Air Max 1 Viotech and Full Restoration

[@og_poot1682]

Clean AF great video

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Thank you!

[@Martin-ri9un]

Excellent job bro. Ur patience paid off big time. 👍

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Martin McBride thank you brother!

[@brianpetermeyer7462]

If you were to do this process again what would you do differently? I'm curious if you would have done the midsole paint while it was separated? Thanks, very helpful!

[@JoeySoSick]

I don’t know if you did it off camera but you should reset the nap prior to re-dyeing so the color goes on more evenly. Great video bro. Very in depth

[@payne_kickz]

These came out clean, great job 👌🏾

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

thank you so much!

[@iainnelemans8904]

Think the purple/bordeaux outsole would have looked 🔥 all together with the purple swoosh and airbag

[@Sportsandsneakers20212]

very helpful video! I'm going to be performing my first sole swap on some dunk lows soon, fingers crossed

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Take your time don’t rush!

[@Sportsandsneakers20212]

@@DIRTY_ELECTRIC definitely will do thanks for the advice

[@patricklary81]

Did they stay glued or come apart eventually? I keep calling coblers who won't touch mine, because they say they come apart.

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

I dont think cobblers do alot of sneakers, mine are all still together. It's all about technique and preperation

[@patricklary81]

@@DIRTY_ELECTRIC I appreciate it. I talked to a cobbler who has done a lot of airmaxes. He said that some they have success with and some not, but because of complaints and refunds after putting so much time in to them, they don't do it anymore. I've done a lot of shoe restoration, but never a sole swap. I just don't want to screw it up, because it's hard to find all white 1s. I have another pair that are just fine, so it's not the end of the world if I screw it up, but I'm going to try it. Appreciate the response

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

@@patricklary81 oh ok! yea after i do the swaps i tell my clients not to wear the shoes for 2 weeks minimum. Since this video i have learned so many new steps and techniques. Would you of anyone be interested in a detailed updated video?

[@patricklary81]

@@DIRTY_ELECTRIC yea definitely. If you would also list each tool and ingredient/ glue/ chemical that you use, that way I can buy the exact stuff. Appreciate it

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

@@patricklary81 No problem! if you would be so inclined to like and share the video that would help alot! thanks again brother

[@kevinjasonmejiacaballero7773]

Where did you buy the shoe laces purple and yellow ? 37:57

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

I bought it a few years back on a popular custom shoe lace site don’t quite remember though

[@takudzwabere1539]

This is really helpful! I’ve been trying to figure out what the tool is that you’re using to file the sole down. Any link for that?

[@patricklary81]

A name brand for the tool is Dremel tool

[@Smoothjazzsundays]

Where are you guys located? And where can I send you two pairs?

[@davemumford9443]

Did u use the same size as the og sole? U taken off? Or would u need to go half size up/down ?

[@alexroutley8436]

Is it possible to swap a air max 1 sole onto a air max 97 upper?

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Yes very possible!

[@IveBeenAbducted51]

Pretty sure that's what the Wotherspoon is.

[@tb303orys]

I want to resole my Air Max 1 Grunge. Anyone in Europe doing this service?

[@sneanlabaaab7986]

Great job on these man🔥and if you ever really dirty these or any other of your kicks up, I would highly recomend reshoevn8r sneaker cleaner. They are kinda pricey, but well worth it

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

thanks bro! but they are way too pricey compared to what I can find locally

[@nathan5229]

Awesome! Nice work bro! Super Dope outcome!🔥 How long did this take you from start to finish?

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Total hours maybe maybe 10

[@eugenezhang6939]

I just got a pair deadstock, is it still wearable or nah?

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Eugene Zhang you can try them on but I highly doubt it bro

[@eugenezhang6939]

DIRTY⚡️ ELECTRIC do you do it as a business bc I would like someone with experience to help me soleswap mine

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Eugene Zhang yes this is my biz brotha, you can contact me on my IG dirty.electric

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

hmm not sure brotha , i doubt it

[@Myashimi]

Abg boleh rrlepair ke

[@prawning1]

could u do midsole repaint before sole swapping?

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

yes you can, the only issue that may come up is the excess glue may be a problem, but if youre hand is steady enough you should be fine

[@watermelonman20]

I’ve been told to get donor soles half a size smaller. Anyone know if this is right

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

ive always done true to size

[@William_Organ]

Losing my mind that you didn't paint the midsoles before gluing the uppers and outsoles, but this is a fantastic job so I guess I'll shut up.

[@marcmartin1729]

Please, would you say this vintage pair is true to size o does it run half size big?

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Marc Martín that’s a good question, when I get home I’ll throw my pair on and let you know! follow me on IG : dirty.electric

[@skipst23instagram91]

Hi mate can i send you sone air max 1s to sole swap ?

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

of course! contact me on my IG : dirty.electric

[@alaindisk9704]

Yeah but with the acétone tour plastic never gonna be the same and hé gonna be ruined very fast

[@dsean4040]

Wish me luck I’ve got about 6 pairs I need to do this to, starting with the am1 urawa’s (deffo top 3) and I’m not gonna lie I’m 💩in’ myself! Anyone know of anyone that does this in the uk? Well done on the viotechs though!!! Look great! I have a piece of the viotech’s…on my masters lol

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

You’ll do fine, just don’t rush anything take your time if u got questions just let me know , I’m also on IG dirty.electric

[@dsean4040]

@@DIRTY_ELECTRIC nice 1 bro, I will do, although it will probably be on here I’ve never had insta! lol so do you wear your viotechs now?

[@pairofsneakerheads]

You did an outstanding job. But why did you do everything in the wrong order? Logically you would take everything apart then clean it, then iron it, then paint it and as last glue everything together. It would make the whole process a lot easier.

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Thanks, but everyones process is different. As long as you get the results you wanted is all that matters.

[@harrybaals2549]

i used to paint before gluing, but now i always paint after because you have to be annoyingly precise and careful to keep the paint intact while you're working with the glue and heat. whereas if you paint after, you have nothing to worry about. on top of that, sometimes there can be minor errors with the fitment that can be covered up or minimized with the paintjob after the fact

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

I’m sure you can

👀👁👍

thanks broptha!
